1590478 - Make the custom actions menu and child menus pop above the notifications like cancel request sent or jobs added, etc.

Attachment: notificationsCoverCustomActionsMenu.png

Please prioritize the custom actions menu and it's child pop-ups above the green treeherder notifications.

We find ourselves waiting for the treeherder nofications (from association, retriggering, rerunning, adding jobs, etc) to disappear, to be able to select rerun or retrigger in the custom actions menu.

It would be helpful if only the error notifications are displayed.

The custom actions, intermittent bug filer and other modal dialogs have z-index: 1050;
The #notification-box has z-index: 1100; https://github.com/mozilla/treeherder/blob/fdb62a624378386f05f9b53467433dd3e61b1e89/ui/css/treeherder-notifications.css#L12

There are notifications which also get triggered by the bugfiler, so notifications cannot be put into the background in general.

The notification width could be limited.

If you hit "esc" it should clear any notifications currently on-screen. And you can always check the notification history by clicking the "Bell" icon on the top toolbar. Would hitting "esc" be sufficient here?

Just bringing attention to question in comment 2.

Putting the notifications at the bottom of the push and tasks region is an alternative here.
